Project Core: A Chest-Carried Power Unit for a Human-Scale Powered Exosuit
Year: 2026
Type: preprint
Abstract: A design study for the chest-carried power unit of a human-scale powered exosuit. The requirement is derived from the load (600 W sustained bus, 3 kW peaks, at most 8 kg and 6 L; 1.2 kWh usable at the two-hour line, 4.8 kWh at the eight-hour line, at most 10 W across the skin interface); every real energy source is graded against the derived lines; a fictional benchmark is quantified as fiction; the conventional core is separated from an engine-hearted core gated on physics not yet in hand; and the first bench, CORE BENCH 1 (LOAD WALL), is specified with pre-registered pass and exclusion lines. A design study: it describes no built device and reports no measurement. Sole author: William Alexander Aldred, inventor.
